The Admin Dashboard is your go-to tool for tracking your team's usage across Foundation and Validated Data projects—as well as monitoring your existing subscription. Whether you're keeping an eye on overall usage or managing limits proactively, this dashboard gives you visibility and control.
What You Can Do with the Admin Dashboard
The Admin Dashboard is designed to help Admins stay on top of usage trends and account limits. To access the dashboard, Admins may click on their initials in the top right corner of the page they are viewing in 4M to see the navigation dropdown. Select "Admin Dashboard."
Once in the dashboard, here’s what you can do:
Monitor Project Usage: Track how many Foundation and Validated projects your team has created or submitted, so you always know how your team is leveraging 4M.
View Consumption Trends Over Time: Analyze usage patterns to anticipate future needs and optimize how your team uses data.
Set Threshold Alerts: Set a usage level at which you would like to be notified (e.g. 90% of contract volume). This will let you know your organization is near your limit of project segments, so you can reach out to Customer Success if you need additional access.
Monitor Project Usage by Setting Threshold Alerts in the Admin Dashboard
Admins can proactively monitor usage by configuring threshold alerts:
Set customizable thresholds (e.g., 80%, 90%) of your plan’s consumption limit. Click the "Set Threshold" button in the Admin Dashboard to create it.
Once the threshold is reached, an automatic email alert is sent to the Admin.
This gives teams the chance to evaluate usage and, if needed, reach out to their Customer Success Manager to expand their limit.
What Happens When You Hit the Limit?
If your organization reaches the total number of segments or linear miles allowed under your current account plan:
Admins will receive a pop-up in the app and email notifying them that the limit has been reached. They will also see a notification whenever they view the Admin Dashboard.
All users attempting to create a new project will see a message explaining that the organization has reached its usage cap.
Users can then:
Reach out to Customer Success to upgrade your plan and continue creating projects.
View a utility heat map of the area at no cost. In this limited version, you can see the utility density within the project area using the visual scale. There are no lines, objects, or owners in this free version of the project.
